Annie Got Her Gun




Frank Butler peered inside the tipi.  “Where’s Annie?”  
         Sitting Bull sat cross-legged, playing poker with Buffalo Bill. “Gone,” the chief said without looking up from his cards.
        Bill pulled a cigar from his mouth. “Said she had to practice the blindfold shot.”      
        Frank muttered a profanity. “She can’t do that without me.”
        Bill chuckled. “That won’t stop Annie.”
        Back on the field, Frank hailed a cowboy on horseback. “Have you seen my wife?” Frank asked.
        “She’s at the hospital tent.”
        Frank’s gut sickened. “What happened?”
        “Stray buckshot hit a longhorn. She’d got him wrong, and that was her loss.”



I didn’t like this prompt, so I changed one word. Check out what the others wrote:
